Chapter 1416: Embarrassed in front of a crowd at 1415
“Miss Rou is indeed a strong-willed person; I was not wrong about you,” Lin Yu was very pleased. “As long as Miss Rou is willing to cooperate with Prince Laka, TR’s development in Country J will no longer face obstacles.”
Miss Rou smiled faintly, “Pleasure to cooperate.”
Actually, she wasn’t truly eager to know the stories of Country J’s royal family. No amount of curiosity could compel her to entangle TR in it; the reason she made such a request was that she relished a challenge.
If she could witness a major internal conflict within the royal family, then her trip here was worthwhile.
Having delayed some time, they both quickened their pace, and by the time they arrived, everyone else was already there.
The King sat in the high seat, Princess Samiyi on his left, Prince Laka to his right, and the haughty Queen Monica seated next to Princess Samiyi.
Once Miss Rou and the others were seated, the King began to speak, “I hear that in Country C, everyone is a poet, so today’s distinguished guests, please do not be modest and show off your talents to the fullest.”
Miss Rou had no idea where this rumor originated — something about everyone in Country C being martial arts masters, and that Country C was filled with gold… Who was spreading such rumors anyway?
“I am not very eloquent nor can I write poetry. Mr. Lin and I are from the same place; he is very articulate. Your Majesty, perhaps you should ask him,” Miss Rou modestly stated.
The King had not yet spoken when Queen Monica could not wait any longer; she started by contradicting Miss Rou right away, “His Majesty has invited you here to write poetry. If you can’t, then quickly vacate your seat and don’t just sit here.”
Miss Rou, not one to be outdone, replied, “Your Highness the Queen, are you skilled at poetry? Then let me ask you about a poem, and you can tell me whether it’s good or not. The title of the poem is ABCD…”
Before Miss Rou could finish the title, Queen Monica jumped up, “Dare you mock me?”
Miss Rou feigned innocence, “What are you talking about? When did I mock you?”
Queen Monica prepared to leave her seat to settle the score with Miss Rou, who also readied herself; if Queen Monica dared come over, she was ready to embarrass her in front of everyone.
But the King stopped them, angrily stating, “Have you forgotten where you are?”
Queen Monica instantly backed down, grinding her teeth in fury, “You just wait!”
“I am waiting,” Miss Rou provoked, “As long as the Queen dares to come over, I will be waiting.”
How could Queen Monica tolerate such provocation from Miss Rou? She suddenly lunged forward, “You dare laugh at me? I must teach you a lesson today!”
It had been a long while since anyone had dared to teach Miss Rou a lesson; those who had tried had all met with terrible outcomes, and Queen Monica was not going to be an exception.
The people around Queen Monica were too slow to stop her. The furious queen charged at the foreign woman and raised her hand to slap her.
The foreign woman did not dodge; she simply sat in her seat, slightly tilting her chin upward with a slight smile, then her hand moved swiftly.
No one knew what she had done, but by the time everyone realized, Queen Monica was already lying on the ground, rolling around and laughing as if she were mad.
Miss Rou, laughing, said, “Your Highness, what’s making you so happy? Could you share it with us?”
Queen Monica was too busy laughing to respond to Miss Rou.
Her maids rushed over to help her up, but Queen Monica was too erratic to be helped up.
Miss Rou also left her seat, saying warmly, “The ground is so dirty, and our noble Queen loves cleanliness. How can she roll on the ground like this?”
As Miss Rou went to assist Queen Monica, the queen did not get up, and her several maids also ended up lying on the ground, acting mad.
Miss Rou quickly stepped back, “Oh dear, could it be an illness? Is this epilepsy? Should we call a doctor?”
“Hahaha…” Queen Monica laughed wildly while scolding Miss Rou, “You little bitch, you dared to poison me, hahaha… I will kill you… hahaha…”
Miss Rou couldn’t help but laugh, “Your Highness, I didn’t prepare the food; how could I possibly poison you?”
